I was reading an article on "Real Clear Politics" that said something like this could be the year of Republican moderates. Its kinda strange how the Tea Party is big with Conservatives but yet all these moderate Republicans could win Senate Seats this year....Mike Castle(Delaware), Tom Campbell(California), Mark Kirk(Illinois), John Hooven(North Dakota), and (Scott Brown-Massachusetts already winning.)


The Conservatives running for the Senate that stand to benefit from the Tea Party movement include Marco Rubio(Florida) and Pat Toomey(Pennsylvania) in my opinion. Former Republican Governors like Tommy Thompson(Wisconsin) and George Pataki(New York) I don;t where they fit in on the political scale in terms of Moderate or Conservative. Pataki doesn't know if he is gonna run for the US Senate vs incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand this year and Thompson I think is gonna run vs Russ Feingold for a US Senate Seat this year.

Here in this fascist state if you, the politician, have sold your soul to the great corporate Satan, you stand to gain, whether it means winning or retaining your political position, or gaining a lucrative appointment in the lobbying concerns.

In the short term, evil has triumphed.

The Democrats are doing their best to close the gap between them and the Republicans.  Power is with corporatism, not populism. 

The Tea Party movement is a publicity front for the corporate state and any man or woman who adheres to it seeking empowerment from exclusion or comfort from desperation is a fool.

Thus spake.

no, they're popular with FRINGE conservatives.  The only election they tried to "win" was such a huge loss that the Dems picked up a seat that was solidy Republican for over a hundred years.

Scott Brown presents a strange situation for Tea Party types.

On the one hand, he was very conservative as a state senator.  On the other hand, he's leaning more moderately as a U.S. Senator.  While it is true that politicians tend to be more extreme at the state level than the federal one, Brown was more conservative while in a liberal state and is now less conservative when representing a more conservative nation overall.

Brown is only "very conservative" by Massatwosheeshs standards, and his opponent didn't gave everybody the finger instead of shaking hands.  Brown is already on the outs with the right-wing.
